Advice
How we handle kitchen sink repair in Cotherstone
We repair the damage and match the original finish, so you do not need replacement parts. Doors with a large area of lifted vinyl usually need re-wrapping or replacing; we repair chips and dents. If you’re dealing with cracks around the waste and dents and scuffs on cabinets, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cotherstone and across County Durham. A sink mat protects against dropped pans, and wipe door edges dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cotherstone. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
